[Soot-list] JastAdd not recognizing @Override annotation

[Guru Devanla]

Hello All,

When I run soot to generate Jimple files for a simple class implementing an
interface I see exception listed below. For some reason, JastAdd does not
seem to like the "@Override" annotation over an interface method
implementation. I remember there was some change to @Override behavior from
1.5 to 1.6.

Any input would be of great help.

Here is the sample:

*public interface ParentInterface {*
*    public void parentinterface_method();*
*}*
*
*
*public class ParentClass implements ParentInterface {*
*    public void parentclass_method(){*
*    }*
*
*
*    @Override*
*    public void parentinterface_method() {*
*        //To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File
Templates.*
*    }*
*}*


Now, when I run soot to generate the Jimple files, I have this exception:
[line 15 here, the "@Override" statement]
